Our company recently upgraded to new Windows 10 desktops. At the same time we upgraded from ArcMap 10.2 to ArcMap 10.4. I am now regularly getting random "General Function Failure" error's while using ArcMap. It typically happens when I am simply navigating the map, panning and zooming around and selecting features and working with the Table data. I am mostly working with existing MXD's that I started working with while I was using 10.2. [Edit]I believe they have all not been updated to 10.4 MXD's.I believe all MXD's started as 10.2 MXD's and have all now been saved in 10.4. I have tried starting an MXD from scratch in 10.4 and seem to be having the same issue, maybe just a little less often. [/Edit]
Anyone have this experience? Or and suggestions on what is going on or how best to approach troubleshooting?
Did you also upgrade your License Manager to 10.4 as well? Sometimes LM's kept at 10.2 cause "General Function Failure" messages. Also, one other thing to check - do any of your feature classes/shapefiles start with a number? This will also cause GFF errors.
I checked and our license server was updated to 10.4, and as far as I can tell I do not have any feature classes/shapefiles that start with a number. I was not aware the number thing was an issue, I will have to keep an eye out for that in the future.
I am encountering the same problem : random "General Function Failure" error's while using ArcMap Standard. I upgraded from arcmap 10.0 to 10.4.1. Users have opened there last mxd containing simple gdb (10.0). They saved it in 10.4.1 and still encounter the problem.
